Pseudognaphalium biolettii, or two-color rabbit-tobacco, is an Asteraceae-family flowering plant found in western North America. An alternative common name is two-tone everlasting. This perennial species is a food plant for the larval/caterpillar stages of the American Lady butterfly.[1] This plant thrives in coastal sage and scrub habitats of southern California and Baja California.[2] Two-color rabbit tobacco may have a slight fragrance of lemon.[3] Plant size is up to a meter high. The blooming period is typically January to June.[2][4]
